Hi,

Just tried SU for IPAD. Has anyone used it much?

Not bad really but I wish it had a few more functions like:

Plan view and front back etc
More unsnaps
Better dimension tools - its very hard to dimension things with curved corners

and a freehand drawing tool with an Auto smooth wound be amazing!

Do you think will have to wait till end of year for the usual MINOR updates

Can anyone recommend the Sketchup Construction Documents book from first hand experience?

I am very sure I have imported OBJ last year, now I cant see any way to do it.

Can anyone help. I tried the Quadface extention but did not work.

Regards,

Sy

Hi,

Wondering if there is an extension that will help to triangulate my model so i can send to zbrush?

Hi,

I am building a Victorian market with has lots of columns and girders and bracing, but before I go too far it occurred to me that once finished my model might be so slow to be useless (not made such a large space before). So far I have been using follow me to form the moldings and imported some capital heads.

Any advice on how to reduce the final model size but still retain the detail. Its 4mb now with only 2 columns drawn and there are about 24 all together.

Hi,

Love some tips on how to approach modeling this floral ornament in sketchup.

Hi,

Is there any way to do this or use any plugin?

I want to use an image (as displacement map) to affect the model to add textures or 3D shapes onto the model.

.IMO, one needs both a poly modeler AND a NURBS modeler (and a topology modeler). I still enjoy using both SketchUp and MoI and go between them often.

Brilliant! So could I for example build the walls and regular stuff in Sketchup and import the MOI curved objects into it. Or the other way round?

II actually want to 3d Print my results, so hpe that it will perform well in that way.

Dear Pilou,

Actually I am a bit confused. This gray coloured parametric editor seems not part of MOI. Can you confirm if its a seperate plug in?

Is it same as Grasshopper function wise?

Any Idea when MOI version 4 is out?

Regrads,

In Su seems for the moment the only Nodal System!

Or a little more easy (and priceless) than Rhino with Moi3D and Elephant!
Has export SKP!

WOW - and you can draw with a tablet it seems. Want to trial this software. Does not seem to have the large backing and slick organisation that other softwares have - makes me wonder how long the software will be around?

Thanks!
